A Memory I'll Never Forget

During a visit to Kinokuniya KLCC in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia—one of the country's largest and most renowned bookstores—I had an unforgettable experience.

While browsing the art section, I spoke with Mohammad, the staff member responsible for the art and graphics books. I jokingly asked why the anatomy section hadn't been updated in quite some time.

He smiled and asked, "What are you looking for? Something related to 3D art?"

I replied, "Yes."

He disappeared for a moment and returned with a newly arrived book.

The moment I saw the cover, I couldn't believe my eyes.

"Oh my God... Oh my God..." I kept saying, laughing in complete disbelief.

I looked at him and said, "My artwork is in this book! First, check my name in my passport... then open the book."

He compared my passport with the list of artists and found my name inside. His expression said it all—he was genuinely surprised. It seemed to be the first time he had ever experienced a moment like that with a customer.

It was one of those unforgettable moments that stays with you forever.

As artists, we all go through periods of doubt. Sometimes the people around us discourage us or fail to appreciate the years of dedication and hard work behind what we do.

Then, out of nowhere, life gives you a moment like this.

For me, it felt like a message from God—a reminder that I was still on the right path, that my work had value, and that I still had the ability and the opportunity to share my passion with the world as an artist.

It remains one of the proudest and most meaningful moments of my career.
